GOV. EASLEY AWARDS $12 MILLION TO REHABILITATE HOMES IN 30 COUNTIES
RALEIGH – Gov. Mike Easley today announced the awarding of $12 million to make much needed repairs to the homes of low-income owners in 30 counties. The money comes from the federal government’s Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Scattered Site Housing awards and is distributed by the N.C. Department of Commerce’s Division of Community Assistance.
“These grants will be critical in improving housing across the state,” said Easley. “Safe, secure housing for all citizens is one key foundation to building strong, vibrant communities.”
Counties receiving money include: Alexander, Ashe, Bertie, Bladen, Camden, Caswell, Columbus, Currituck, Durham, Franklin, Gaston, Gates, Halifax, Harnett, Haywood, Henderson, Lee, Madison, Montgomery, Northampton, Onslow, Person, Polk, Rowan, Scotland, Surry, Transylvania, Warren, Wayne and Yancey.
Scattered Site Grants enable local governments to address the most critical housing needs of families. Grants are made on a non-competitive basis with $400,000 available to each county every three years.
To become eligible for an award, county officials must submit a detailed Scattered Site Housing Distribution Plan describing how the funds will be used to meet low-income housing needs. These plans should include all interested municipalities in each county. Scattered Site Housing awards are contingent upon the approval of the county's plan and the receipt of 2005 CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Communities seeking more information about the CDBG award program can visit the Division of Community Assistance’s Web site at www.ncdca.org.
